Board of Supervisors Recommends Names for Dulles Metrorail Stations

March 29, 2011

Today, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors recommended names for the
eight Metrorail stations that are part of the Dulles Metrorail Project. The names,
which must be approved by the Washington Metro Transit Authority board of
directors, are as follows:

Tysons-McLean

Tysons I & II

Tysons Central

Tysons-Spring Hill Rd

Reston-Wiehle Ave

Reston Town Center

Herndon-Reston West

Herndon-Dulles East

Each proposed station name connotes a community: Tysons, Reston,
Herndon, or McLean. Some include street names while others include the
name of shopping malls and a town center.

The 23-mile transit line will run from Tysons to Dulles International
Airport to the rest of the region, and the project comprises a total
of 11 Metrorail stations, eight of which are located in Fairfax County.

The stations from Tysons-McLean to Reston-Wiehle Ave are scheduled to be
operational in mid-2013.
